Andrej Hermlin and his Swing Dance Orchestra

The Swing Dance Orchestra invites you on a fascinating journey through musical history: with a love of detail, it revives the American music of the 1930s in authentic style. Its new stage show turns out to be an atmospheric highlight of the festive season. Let it swing!

Swing/Jazz Under the direction of Andrej Hermlin, the Swing Dance Orchestra has written a success story between originality and homage. The ingenious arrangements by his son David Hermlin transport the magic of the successful big bands into the present, yet sound timeless and fresh. The equipment and instruments correspond to the historical models and turn the concerts into thrilling nostalgia trips. With Christmas in Swing, the Swing Dance Orchestra now delivers a grandiose Christmas revue: unforgotten melodies sound even more picturesque in the sound of the 1930s and 1940s. The vocal soloists Rachel and David Hermlin are sure to delight the audience when they sing classics such as Let It Snow and Jingle Bells. In the words of Andrei Hermlin: ‘Swing is romance, passion, sentimentality and ecstasy.’

The Swing Dance Orchestra was founded in Berlin in 1987 by Andrej Hermlin. With its attention to detail and authenticity, the international ensemble has already filled numerous albums and concert halls all over the world.
